Low-Code & No-Code GIS Applications
Build powerful spatial tools, no coding required.
In today’s fast-paced digital environment, organizations need solutions that are agile, scalable, and user-friendly, without the complexity of traditional development. That’s where low-code/no-code GIS tools come in.
Blue Raster helps clients deploy intelligent, interactive, and integrated geospatial applications using ArcGIS Hub, Experience Builder, StoryMaps, Dashboards, and Survey123, all without writing a single line of code. Whether collecting field data, visualizing trends, or launching community initiatives, these tools work together to deliver high impact results.
ArcGIS Hub: A Centralized Platform for Public Engagement
A home for spatial apps, data, and collaborations
ArcGIS Hub acts as the digital front door to your GIS ecosystem, a centralized website experience that connects your maps, apps, data, and community initiatives. Using Hub’s configurable templates, we help clients build accessible, content-rich sites that serve as a launchpad for internal and public-facing tools.
What You Can Do with ArcGIS Hub:
- Launch initiatives on any topic that matters to your organization — from community engagement and sustainability to public safety, infrastructure, education, and beyond.
- Centralize dashboards, surveys, StoryMaps, and open data portals
- Collect public feedback and drive civic engagement
- Showcase community pride and project transparency
Hub is your container, the place where StoryMaps tell the narrative, Dashboards track metrics, Survey123 collects voices, and Experience Builder apps power custom workflows.
ArcGIS Experience Builder: Design Custom Apps with Flexibility

ArcGIS Dashboards: Monitor What Matters Most
Real-time, data-driven decision support
ArcGIS Dashboards offer at-a-glance views of key metrics and spatial insights. Whether you’re tracking economic indicators, monitoring public health, or evaluating performance, we help you design clean, intuitive dashboards that update in real time and respond to user input.
Example Dashboard Use Cases:
- Track business openings or permits
- Monitor citizen reports or 311 requests

ArcGIS Dashboards provide real-time visibility into key metrics, enabling organizations to monitor operations, identify trends, and make informed decisions quickly. By integrating multiple data sources into interactive visualizations, ArcGIS Dashboards streamline analysis, improve collaboration, and enhance situational awareness across teams.
ArcGIS StoryMaps: Turn Data Into a Compelling Narrative
Visual storytelling for impact and understanding
Move beyond static reports. With ArcGIS StoryMaps, you can combine interactive maps, rich media, text, and data visualizations to engage both technical and non-technical audiences. Blue Raster helps you build immersive stories that educate, persuade, and inspire action.
StoryMaps:
- Engage communities through compelling spatial narratives
- Share project updates with photos, maps, videos, and graphs
- Highlight initiatives, success stories, or environmental impact
- Easily embed into Hub sites, web pages, or social posts
ArcGIS StoryMaps transform data into compelling, interactive narratives that engage stakeholders, communicate insights, and drive informed decision-making.
By combining maps, multimedia, and analytics, StoryMaps help organizations showcase projects, highlight impacts, and tell powerful geospatial stories that resonate with audiences.
Survey123: Smart Forms, Smarter Decisions
Collect field data online or offline with ease
ArcGIS Survey123 is a form-centric data collection app designed for field teams, community members, or stakeholders. Blue Raster helps you design surveys that are smart, responsive, location-aware and can be used with or without a data connection.
Survey123 Capabilities:
- Gather structured input from mobile or desktop users
- Enable offline field collection for inspections or audits
